        Installing Zend Framework is extremely simple. Once you have downloaded and extracted the
        framework, you should add the <var class="filename">/library</var> folder in the distribution to
        the beginning of your include path. You may also want to move the library folder
        to another – possibly shared – location on your file system.

        Once you have a copy of Zend Framework available, your application needs to be able to
        access the framework classes. Though there are

        several ways to achieve this</a>, your <acronym class="acronym">PHP</acronym>

        Zend provides a <a href="http://framework.zend.com/docs/quickstart" class="link external">&raquo; QuickStart</a>
        to get you up and running as quickly as possible. This is an excellent way to begin
        learning about the framework with an emphasis on real world examples that you can build

    <p class="para">
        Since Zend Framework components are loosely coupled, you may use a somewhat unique
        combination of them in your own applications. The following chapters provide a
        comprehensive reference to Zend Framework on a component-by-component basis.
